  • Notice of Lifting of Suspension Date: Jun 11, 2015

Notice of the lifting of suspension occurred on the message date of these instructions. See paragraph 5 below.

1. Commerce received a scope ruling request from Suqian Langer International Trade Co., Ltd. (“Suqian Langer”). Commerce issued a final scope determination on 05/26/2015 that Suqian Langer's artist canvases woven and primed in India which Suqian Langer exports are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on certain artist canvas from the People's Republic of China (A-570-899).

2. Commerce determined that Suqian Langer's artist canvases are outside the scope of the order because the weaving and priming of the canvases, which impart the artist canvases' essential characteristics, are performed in India and not the People's Republic of China. Therefore, Suqian Langer's artist canvases are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on certain artist canvas from the People's Republic of China.

3. For all entries of Suqian Langer's artist canvases woven and primed in India that remain unliquidated on or after 11/07/2005, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of Suqian Langer's artist canvases not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.

4. Refund any cash deposits relating to Suqian Langer's artist canvases described above.

5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of Suqian Langer's artist canvases entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 11/07/2005.

6. The assessment of antidumping duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778 requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated antidumping duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash or bonds posted as estimated antidumping duties before the date of publication of the countervailing duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated countervailing duties is required through the date of liquidation. The rate at which such interest is payable is the rate in effect under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 for such period.

7. Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of certain artist canvas from the People's Republic of China not covered by paragraph 2 above, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
